Those witnessing the thrilling state playoff contest a few weeks ago at Guyer Field saw the four touchdowns scored by Dijon Stanley in the 56-55 win over the Breakers . The Utahbound Stanley was just named the LA Times Southern California Player of the Year – quite an honor .

GIRLS WATER POLO ( 3-1 ) Laguna rallied to overcome an inspired Mater Dei squad and some uneven officiating to defeat the
Monarchs 13-12 in sudden death overtime on Friday Dec . 16 at the Mater Dei pool . Laguna jumped out to an early 3-0 lead , but some early substitutions led to a rough second quarter of play and a 5-5 tie at the intermission . The hosts had second-half leads of 7-5 and 9-5early into the final period before Laguna really stepped up their play . Still trailing in the final seconds of regulation , the Monarchs fouled Charlotte Riches , awarding Laguna a 5-meter penalty shot . Ava Knepper drilled the goal to send the play into overtime . In regulation games , overtime is two 3-minute periods followed by sudden death if no team is leading after the two overtime periods . The Breakers scored first the extra time with a goal by Riches , but could not shake Mater Dei , who match each of the two overtime scores by Laguna .
In sudden death , the Breakers initial possession was blocked but Knepper stole the ball on the Monarch ’ s try , that led to a sharp pass from Jordan Schneider to Presley Jones for the winning point . Laguna continues to dominate the series with Mater Dei now leading 21-1 .
Goals : Charlotte Riches - 5 , Myha Pinto - 3 , Ava Knepper - 2 , Presley Jones
